Vanquish is upgrading to
an all new antispam & antivirus engine, powered by Postini,
a division of Google. Our new system improves filtering by
analyzing sender reputation, adding advanced heuristics
and category controls (user adjustments for explicit content, racist mail, get rich quick schemes, etc).
It blocks viruses, scams and even "zero hour" threats.

The new engine combines the latest features of filters and white
lists, without requiring time consuming maintenance. Users
can still enter a
list of trusted senders (up to 4,000 characters or about 125
addresses), but you needn't pre-load your entire history of
email contacts. A new Message Center replaces the old Held
Mail folder.

False positives are a
thing of the past! Power users will find lots of rich
features, like a Connection Manager, Message Center and
Directory Synch.

With all of these advanced features, will you still have
a Held Mail folder and daily digests? Of course! But our antispam
process no longer relies on challenge-response. That method
blocks too many desirable automated messages and violates emerging internet standards.
Our new approach is
superbly effective.

Alternatives (special circumstances)

●

vqME users who require a
challenge feature: We will switch you to Choicemail at no
cost. That company is the leading challenge response system.

●

vqSA owners who
prefer to host and operate their own hardware
security apppliance: We will switch you to Abaca at
no cost with an option to renew at a special rate.
Their virtual machine unpacks and installs on your
existing Vanquish appliance. Abaca provides advanced
email security to Yahoo and is a market leader. A
novel approach of analyzing recipient reputation
greatly reduces false positives.

* If client mail server goes down, incoming mail is
not lost. Instead, it queues at each sender according to the sender's
space and retry rules.
With the upgraded feature pack, a fixed-size queue guarantees
delivery of incoming mail, even if your server is down.
